Ch 129: Rù Shōu’s Teachings
Yu Kai eagerly scooped up the Law’s Water from the small pond. “Gurgle gurgle!” He gulped it down in large mouthfuls. As the Law’s Water flowed in, a dazzling light illuminated his body. The light shimmered like flowing colors, instantly illuminating the surroundings as bright as day. The previously obscure aspects of the Metal Law suddenly became clear in his mind. He couldn’t help but show a look of enlightenment, secretly sighing in his heart: “Good stuff! This is a heaven-sent chance encounter, maybe it can help me quickly master the Metal Law!” Immediately, he simply lay down, burying his head in the small pond, drinking greedily, the light around him becoming increasingly brilliant and dazzling, like a scorching sun, and his strength rapidly rising within this light.
With the last drop of Law’s Water greedily absorbed by Yu Kai, his belly swelled enormously, like a pregnant woman several months along, unable even to sit. He leaned against the edge of the small pool, panting, but dared not slacken in the slightest, immediately closing his eyes and rapidly beginning refinement. As he refined, the surrounding air seemed to be strongly drawn, forming small whirlpools, with air currents surging incessantly.
Accompanying his refinement, his strength soared like a rocket, directly breaking through to the high stage of the Saint Realm, his aura rising rapidly, finally stopping at the peak of the Saint Realm. Yu Kai gripped his fists tightly, the veins on his arms bulging like coiled dragons. He was so excited that his face was flushed red, unable to suppress his inner excitement, feeling his greatly increased strength, his excitement evident.
“Good, as long as I find an opportunity, I can break through to Saint King. According to past experience, using Spiritual Energy to strengthen myself through a mecha, I will possess the combat power of an early-stage Saint King. Then, using Mysterious Spiritual Energy unexpectedly, I should be able to easily defeat a mid-stage Saint King. Coupled with my now near-complete Metal Law, even facing a high-stage Saint King, I will have the strength to fight. If I can also leave my imprint on this Primordial Star Core and control Star Power, wouldn’t I be able to contend with peak Saint King strong cultivators! I can completely kill enemies across a major cultivation realm.” His eyes shone, filled with fervor and confidence, his whole person appearing incredibly excited.
He abruptly stood straight, staring intently at the dazzling Primordial Star Core above, simultaneously activating his nearly perfected Metal Law with full strength, attempting to resonate with the star core above. Soon, this mysterious star core had a strong reaction. The two Laws intertwined like water and milk, perfectly matched, as if they were naturally meant to be. Yu Kai easily left his imprint.
At that moment, in the star core, he saw the figure of Third Honored Master Rù Shōu. Rù Shōu had a human face and tiger body, with a pair of large and magnificent golden wings growing from his shoulder blades. The feathers on the wings were distinct, shining with a dazzling metallic luster, as if carefully forged from the purest gold. His whole body was covered in snow-white scales, each tightly connected, like a layer of indestructible armor, emitting a cold and authoritative light under the dazzling sunlight. His face was as cold and severe as an ice sculpture, his vertical pupils a deep gold, like two pools of mysterious deep water. Just a glance could make one feel a terrifying aura. His pointed ears stood tall, engraved with mysterious and complex golden runes. With his emotional fluctuations, the runes faintly flickered, like the stars twinkling in the night sky. The power of the Metal Law formed a vast array of golden runes beneath his feet, the runes flashing and jumping, as if alive, emitting extremely strong energy fluctuations, causing the surrounding space to subtly distort.
The image changed. Countless powerful Great Demons of various forms rushed toward him like a tide. These Great Demons had huge bodies, fierce auras, and were terrifyingly powerful. Yu Kai felt that even the weakest among them could easily annihilate him with their naturally emanating terrifying aura, leaving him without any resistance.
Rù Shōu roared toward the sky, his voice like rolling thunder, shaking the world, as if to tear apart the sky. The incredibly powerful Metal Law was activated to its full extent, like a violent and destructive storm, sweeping out with unstoppable force.
A Nine-Headed Serpent Demon, whose body was as huge as a mountain, opened its bloody maw and spat out black Poison Mist, attempting to corrode Rù Shōu. Rù Shōu’s eyes narrowed, the Metal Law transforming into countless golden blades, instantly piercing the Poison Mist and stabbing straight toward the Nine-Headed Serpent Demon’s heads. Where the blades passed, the space was split into countless fine crevices. The Nine-Headed Serpent Demon’s heads were instantly severed, and black blood gushed out.
Another Vermillion Bird Great Demon, whose body burned with raging flames, flapped its huge wings, bringing a rolling heat wave. Rù Shōu calmly swung a claw, the Metal Law condensing into a huge golden mountain, which crashed down. The Vermillion Bird Great Demon was pressed under the mountain, and no matter how it struggled, it could not escape, finally being crushed to ashes.
A Ghost Great Demon skilled in stealth attempted to ambush Rù Shōu. However, Rù Shōu sensed it, a golden light flashed around him, and the Metal Law transformed into a fine golden silk net, pulling the Ghost Great Demon out of the void and tightly binding it. With a gentle grip of his huge claw, the Great Demon instantly turned into dust.
Those powerful Great Demons with raging flames were instantly like fragile bubbles, incapable of resisting, in the face of this surging Law Power. In the blink of an eye, they were easily annihilated by this unmatched power, turning to ashes, not even a wisp of Remnant Soul left behind.
This shocking scene left Yu Kai speechless, his heart like a stormy sea, deeply shocked. His Metal Law, which he had considered nearly perfected, was still far from the true peak.
He took a deep breath, clenched his fists tightly, and deeply realized that he had only taken a small step on the path of cultivation in the Metal Law, and a long and arduous journey awaited him. He knew that in the future, he needed to calm down, discard all distracting thoughts, and slowly comprehend the profound mysteries within, so that he could continuously break through himself and ascend to higher realms.
At this time, Rù Shōu seemed to be transmitting his cultivation method in this unique way, as if he knew in advance that Yu Kai would come, and he unreservedly showed him the terrifying power of the Metal Law.
Soon, Yu Kai’s consciousness returned to reality. The vague phantom of Rù Shōu in the star core disappeared, leaving only a phantom of Yu Kai there. Then, he had a feeling of controlling Venus.
Suddenly, the entire Venus shook violently without warning. The earth cracked, the mountains trembled, and all the Metal Law, as if summoned by some mysterious power, began to violently converge underground.
For a time, the gale howled, and sand and rocks flew. The air was filled with a terrifying sense of oppression. The mountains and rivers, originally shining with golden light, those things containing the Metal Law, now gradually dimmed, the Metal Law surging towards the Deep Underground like a tide.
Lightning and thunder filled the sky, and huge crevices spread across the ground, like hideous mouths, intending to devour everything in this world.
